International photographer (Feb-Dec 1929)

Forty-six The INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER December, 1929 Laboratory Technicians ■BY CARL KOUNTZ, Business Representative 6SJ It is with Laboratory Local 683, I, genuine pleasure that the Technicians organization, A. T. S. E. acknowledges the kindness and courtesy of the International Photographers. Their cooperation and enthusiasm in assisting in the organizing of the Laboratory Technicians has been a great boost, and we wish to thank each and every one for the splendid a i d received. Co-operation has come from all labor organizations to help build up the Laboratory Technicians and affiliations are being made with the different federations of labor. It can be truthfully said that the Laboratory Technicians are practically 85 per cent organized. The organization is young, but its functioning, under the different executives is remarkable. One would think that the L. I. is as old as its sister organization. The executives of the Laboratory Technicians are men and women who have spent many years in the profession of developing film. They understand the CARL KOUNTZ profession in which they have spent half of their lives, and know the difficulties to which they and their fellow workers are subject and they feel that their future is bright. The slogan of the members is "Keep in Good Standing," because, if one is in good standing he or she is active in the organization. Being active in the organization is co-operation. To keep in good standing members must pay dues promptly on the designated date of the month, and likewise, if paying by the quarter. Members who fail to pay their union dues on the specified dates, automatically lose their privileges until restored to good standing. There are many important matters facing the members of the organization, and members failing to pay their dues have no voice or vote in the disposition of the matters pending for discussion, for only paid-up members are qualified to attend the meetings. Local 683 maintains headquarters at 6472 Santa Monica boulevard. Meetings are held on the first Sunday of each month. MR.
